"A sensational sleeper of the vintage, this superstar of the Cotes de Bourg appellation boasts a dense purple color as well as a big, sweet, seductive bouquet of melted chocolate, ilorice, smoke and jammy black cherry fruit. Flashy, seductive, and medium bodied, with loads of ripeness in addition to a plush texture, it should be drunk over the next 5-6 years, although it may last longer."
